Diablo II Patch Brings OS X, Native Windows 10 Support

snowstorm has launched an replace for its 16-year-vintage famous hack and cut down position-gambling sport Diablo II to repair compatibility problems with contemporary working structures.

that is the primary update in over 5 years, and is geared toward presenting customers of home windows 7 and beyond with a smoother revel in, and permit people running OS X 10.10 or 10.11 to play the game. previously, anyone on home windows 7, eight.1 or 10 needed to run the game on XP compatibility mode at the same time as Mac owners lost aid after Apple switched to Intel processors.

“it’s been a long term coming, but today we are releasing 1.14a for Diablo II,” the employer stated in a declaration. “This replace makes a speciality of device system faults delivered by means of current operating systems. In associated news, you may ultimately retire the ones old Mac PowerPCs. blanketed with the replace is a sparkly new installer for OSX.”

“we’ve got also began operating to enhance our cheat-detection and hack-prevention skills. there’s still work to be finished, however we are making improvements every day.”

“there is still a large Diablo II network round the sector, and we thank you for continuing to play and slay with us. This journey starts by making Diablo II run on modern structures, but it does no longer give up there.”

the game went offline at 2pm Pacific Time on Thursday (Friday morning three:30am IST) and the servers have been again up jogging six hours later. There appears to be have been problems with the Mac installer although, so you’ll must wait a piece longer in case you had been hoping to get the game jogging on OS X 10.10 / 10.eleven. Do note that the game does no longer help OS X 10.nine or earlier.

As for “does not stop there” component, it is viable that snow fall can be operating on a remaster of the collection for cutting-edge systems together with playstation four and Xbox One.
